So much has happened in the last month...it's been a wonderful whirl-wind! We've been matched with a beautiful little boy!
In June we were blessed with amazing support at our adoption fundraiser in Minnesota!
Here are many of the highlights {blessings} from the fundraiser:
- 145 items/baskets donated for our silent auction/raffle!
- The yummy food was donated! From BBQs, potato salad, to so many desserts and popcorn!
- Friends traveling from out of state to attend and help out!
- Family and friends donating their time and efforts in helping before, during, and after the event!
- Last minute, finding a great new location (indoors) to have the event! Two levels of the Plato Community Hall! The basement of the community hall was donated for us to use for the kids activities!
- The amazing signs, informational boards, and banners that were designed and donated by Rob! :)
- So many lovely family and friends helped us out in running the kids activities, running the entrance table, photo booth, food serving, running the silent auction, raffle and more!
 |
| Some of our favorite helpers, who sold soda pop at the beverage booth! Our little boy has awesome cousins! |
 |
| Silent Substitute! Silent Substitute donated their time and talent to perform a concert for those that attended the event. The concert was awesome! They are so talented! We love their hearts for adoption! |
- The list goes on and on...we have been and continue to be in awe of all the support for our adoption!
We need to say a huge thank you to everyone who gave donations for our silent auction/raffle, food and more! Thank you to family and friends for helping in organizing and running this event, and to all those that came to support us in this adoption process. It is not an easy journey. So, to have such a surrounding of support, encouragement, and love helps us so incredibly much! How amazing to get to share with our little boy, all the support and encouragement that people had in bringing him home!
Here is the result of your generous hearts!
You have helped us in such a BIG WAY!

| We are so humbled by your generosity! This was beyond anything we could have imagined! THANK YOU! |
Many of you have asked for details about our adoption...here was the information we shared at the fundraiser!
Obviously, some things have changed in this information!
We received approval and our LID (log in date), starting the matching process. Last week, we are matched with a cute little boy! We no longer have approx. $23,000 in costs ahead...
because of all of your generosity, we are down to approximately $10,000 needed!
For those that have still been asking how they can give a financial donation, there are two options:
1) you can give directly to us 2) you can give through AdoptTogether
The link is here on our blog...a button on the upper right corner.
AdoptTogether donations are tax deductible
THANK YOU EVERYONE!
Love, Justin and Molly
